Publication and hosting by Turkiye Klinikleri.An array of medical practitioners, including endocrinologists, family physicians, internal medicine specialists in nephrology and cardiology, unceasingly investigate, diagnose and treat over 8 million diabetic patients in Turkey. Apart from routine glycemic regulation, several fre-quent coexisting comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and their associated complications should also be promptly managed. Due to the concomitant occurrence of complicati-ons, the involvement of additional specialties in the precise management of such conditions becomes indispensable. Owing to the ever-expanding knowledge about the prevalence and clinical manife-stations of diabetes, various international medical societies publish annual diabetes guidelines, which makes it too cumbersome as well as challenging for the practicing physicians to follow these comprehensive guidelines in clinical practice. There is an unmet need for an easy-to-read and concise document for all physicians working for diabetes management for a standardized approach for better management of diabetes and improved patient care. This consensus report was pre-pared collectively by the Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism Tur-key, Turkish Society of Cardiology, Turkish Society of Nephrology, Turkish Society of Hypertension and Renal Diseases to prevent cardiac and renal complications of diabetes, to timely detect these complications by using pertinent measures and to develop, implement and mo-nitor strategies for managing them effectively.
